Dr Daniel Crosby, The Laws of Wealth

Educated at Brigham Young and Emory Universities, Dr Daniel Crosby is a psychologist, behavioural finance expert and asset manager who applies his study of market psychology to everything from financial product design to security selection.

Daniel is at the forefront of behavioralising finance. His ideas have appeared in the Huffington Post and Risk Management Magazine, as well as his monthly columns for WealthManagement.com and Investment News.

His new book is The Laws of Wealth: Psychology and the secret to investing success where he offers an accessible and applied take on a discipline that has long tended toward theory at the expense of the practical.

In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Daniel about the basics of behavioural finance, how the messiness of lived experience can be integrated as an investor, whether all investors are as bad as each other when it comes to negative behavioural traits, and much more.

Dawid Konotey-Ahulu, Behaviour, FinTech and Ageing

Dawid is co-founder of Redington who advise large pension funds around the world and believes there is a way to solve the pensions challenge, and that it involves bringing together great minds in conversation, as well as connecting unlikely dots to provide new and better ways for pension funds to reach their goals.

In this episode, we have a wide-ranging conversation about several different things. We talk about the savings crisis; what is it and what can we do to get people saving more for their futures?

We also talk about behavioural economics, something regular listeners to this podcast will know I’m currently exploring and learning more about.

Michael Nicholas, Making Complex Decisions with Confidence in a Fast-Moving World

Michael Nicholas is author of The Little Black Book of Decision Making. His book delves into the cognition behind decision making, guiding you through the different ways your mind approaches various scenarios.

In this episode, I chat to Michael about why it’s becoming harder to make the right decisions, the role cognitive dissonance plays, how we can neutralise some of our inherent biases, striking the right balance between intuition and logic, evolutionary traits that no longer serve as well in modern society, a more mindful approach to rational decision making, and much more.

Gleb Tsipursky, Purpose & Bad Decisions

Gleb is founder of Intentional Insights; a nonprofit that empowers people to refine and reach their goals by providing research-based content to help improve thinking, feeling, and behaviour patterns.

His primary vocation is helping people, organisations, and society as a whole use science-based decision-making and emotional and social intelligence to avoid disaster.

Gleb explains that, at their root, disasters stem from poor decisions. People make bad decisions in their everyday lives, which results in them losing money, time, relationships, health, and happiness.

This is a conversation of two parts. We start by chatting about purpose; the techniques we can use to live a more meaningful life and the role politics plays in finding purpose. And then we move onto decision making. I ask Gleb what’s at stake when we make important financial decisions and who is most likely to make bad decisions.
